Production of the Alabama-built Hyundai Sonata continued to rise last month, as workers at the automaker's Montgomery factory built 19,367 sedans.

That's a slight increase from March's total of 19,115 sedans.

Meanwhile, Hyundai workers built fewer Santa Fe SUVs in Montgomery. Production dropped to 6,863 in April from 9,235 in March.

Overall, the plant turned out 26,230 Sonatas and Santa Fes last month, a 7.5 percent decline from March. The plant's vehicles are sold in the U.S. market and also exported to Canada, Puerto Rico and Guam.
